For Instance, there wan a ruu last lull
near Hemiwtead, L. I., behind the pack
of the Mendowbrook Hunt Club. Sev

women. There were luH teu In at the

Mrs. .1. I.. Kernoehan, the only woman
to tinish., .Since then Mm. Kernoehan
has been playfully1 dubbed the "(iueen

title. In this particular run the dla
tauce traversed was twelve mlli-a, over
eighty different jumps, varying In
height from tlirec feet to five fe't one

there are sixty Jiihis.Io twelve miles.

Moraewhlppcd Her Father'a Admirer,
Miss Elaine Clarragc, an attractive
young woman residing In San Francis
co, has just achieved notoriety by pub
licly punishing Minu Trimmer, a for
mer friend, because of the persistent
atttr-'ilons she bestowed upon her (Miss
Clarrage's) father. Mis Ohtrrnjre, In
explaining the cause of the afTu1r. said:
"Miua Trimmer was formerly my
friend, and I Introduced her to my fam
ily. 'c were friends for a long time,
but I discovered that she was , too
fricaIy with my father and came to
the honee only to nee hlni. I saw how

nee our home broken up. I talked io

did not seem to Indleve that there was
much danger. I finally won npy-iolnt

family that she was no longer welcome
at our house. Klnce then she has sim
ply tnicd her Ingenuity to devise ways
of annoying us.' Hhe has used opera

to have ail these qualiticatioiis. and for
the uioct piirt they come from good

Its contempt for the law in a number

The burdock Is a bad weed for a care- '
less or lazy fanner.. If it ajjv.wed to
seed, the product of seed is so enor
mous from each .plant th.'it, once they
get scattered over Ihe ground the place
will not be free from them for years
after. Yet it is rit, a hard weed to kill. '
All that Is neees.ary nt any-stage of
growth is to cut the plant off one to
two inches below the surface and fill
in the hole that the part of the root '
cut out. has occupied with common salt.
The root is full of sap, which first dis
solves the salt, and then !.s the mois
